Poor interview experience as they had advertised incorrect information regarding role. Different location and entirely different role. Total waste of my time as wouldn't have applied for the role in the first place.

Reasons for Declining

Location differed from what was advertised and the role was nothing like what attracted me to it in the first place.

I applied online. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Barclays in February 2015.

Interview Details

phone interview. Strength based 12 questions. Nothing too hard, to be honest.assessment day. 2 interviews and trading game. Be prepared for the trading, find a previous analyst or something who has done it, and find out what the optimal strategy is, and stick to it, do not be confused, and it should be easy from then on.Interviews were standard, but also with the people you will be working with, try and give off your hard working personality and things like that.

Did a spring internship the previous year and so was offered a fast track assessment centre for the Summer internship. A 45 minute strengths based interview and a 45 minute technical interview. Then a group exercise and a calendar prioritisation exercise. Originally had phone interview and another assessment centre for my spring week.

First an application form with three questions including your motivations behind applying to barclays and a question dedicated to barclays values. This is followed by a culture test and questionnaire and then a numerical test. If you pass this stage successfully you have a telephone interview. This is an HR interview so do not expect anything really technical

Interview Questions

If you had to summarise some complex information and present it to a senior employee how would you feel + give and example of doing something similar recentlyAnswer Question

Online tests then interviews then assessment centre. The online tests are a bit different to usual. There is a strange multiple choice personality and some fairly benign logical questions. You could write a script that would cover almost every answer to the interview questions.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Barclays.

Interview Details

Initial contact via employment agency who reviewed my career history with the intention of filtering for suitability to present for interview. Client reviewed, scheduled an interview where I was face-to-face with the head of department and an incumbent team leader.

After an online questionnaire that lasted around one hour, you were invited in for an assessment interview. This lasted for one hour and several key questions were asked. The questions were based on the communication, customer service, drive and excellence

Interview Questions

Explain one of the challenges you faced and what your decision wasAnswer Question

Online tests and standard questions on behaviours etc. All industry standard and self explanatory. Interview quite difficult - comprised of one to one questions with senior management, again based around behaviours 'tell me about a time you worked well in a team'. Group exercise was a puzzle we had to solve in a time limit - quite challenging. Finally there was a case study taken on iPads and an interview afterwards where you were required to qualify your decision given the data.

It took them about 2,3 weeks from online app to phone interview. And I just had my phone interview and the HR told me they don't have a fixed time to get back to me after that because they still have some candidates to interview etc.

Interview Questions

Do you follow the market news and lots of competency based questions.

But they will change up their way of asking and its up to you to interprets. The HR will only repeat the questions exactly as it is, and won't paraphrase. To be honest, it's possibly my worst phone interview.
